Props at least making some ground this half.

And now that’s forward. I preferred it when nothing was given forward apart from massively obvious ones. At least it was consistent then

We get a forward decision, very reluctantly. How long did it take him to call that?

None of the decisions that they checked with the video referee were remotely close calls!

Early days but all of the front rowers have been good so far.

Superb

But why on God's good earth did that need a VR?

Attack close to line dire.

Rules were changed during COVID because teams were naming 21 and then come the match day 17 some were making a lot of changes, some suspicion it was not covid related and so coming into this season they decided you will lose an interchange to any changes to match day 17. Seems changing starting line up counts for this as well.

I know about the person being brought in from outside the 21 (we were to blame for that before covid I think) I didn't think a change to the teamsheet would incur that penalty.

Bull, that was a fair strip

Brain fart from King.Passes to Aston cert try but two desperate teams.

Aye, he's picked up where he left off has Mr kendall.

Another set restart for nothing!

Can we have a set for them with no penalties or set restarts? It's getting really silly now and most seem unwarranted to me.

Not even a yellow?

In all fairness that wasn't forward, he isn't biased he's just crap.

Not off the ball or anything, first contact with the chin. No excuses whatsoever. Why wasn't that a yellow?

Great chance to score but Bullock drops ball.Powell will have no hair left soon.

6 again needs to go, to be honest

Still don't understand hill out Bullock in. Bang average with a tendency to make mistakes

Aside from that knock on hee been pretty good today.

I'm beginning to wonder why longstaff never runs a ball in.

Really? Doesn't seem to make much yardage after contact.

I've been impressed with all the front rowers so far today they have played really well.

Darryl Clarks best game for a very long time.

Thewlis has been great too.

Thewlis will probably be dropped when Williams comes back. Which feels unfair.

Get in.

You know what, whether we hold out for the win or not, the improvement in resilience and focus is massive. Well done to the lads and Powell for picking themselves up off the floor.

We have been good today, whether that will be enough remains to be seen.

Doesn't deserve it, he hasn't put a foot wrong. He seems to be very, very dependable.
